How do I decide which is better: ashwagandha or shilajit for my wellness needs? - #21878

Anonymous

I am kinda lost here and hope someone can help me out! So, I’ve been reading about these two things, ashwagandha and shilajit, trying to figure out which is better for my overall health. I mean, all the talk on the internet just makes it harder, right? Just the other day, I was talking to a friend, and they swear by ashwagandha. They said it helps with stress, tension, and even boosts energy, which sounds great! But then, I heard about shilajit too, and it’s supposed to be packed with minerals and great for vitality and stamina. Like, come on, how do I choose? I'm mainly concerned about managing stress and maybe improving my energy levels, but honestly, I don't want to toss one aside if it has benefits I might need. Sometimes I feel so drained by just the day-to-day stuff, you know? I had a tough few months with work, and I just thought maybe something like ashwagandha or shilajit could help me bounce back. I tried using ashwagandha in powder form in my smoothies, and I thought I felt slightly better at first, but then again, I couldn't really tell if it was working. Had a little bit of anxiety too—just work stress—but I want to address that without relying on something heavy-duty. I've also read that shilajit could potentially boost my stamina for gym workouts? I struggle with that sometimes, especially after a long day. So is it really worth trying to switch to shilajit? I guess I'm just trying to figure out which one to commit to, without wasting time or money on something that doesn't work for me. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? Like, has anyone else had experiences where ashwagandha or shilajit didn’t work as expected? Also, do I need to take these consistently to feel the effects? I’ve been stressing way too much about my health lately, and I really want something to simplify my routine. So, like, which is better overall for someone in my situation? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
